worked out ii labor saving device
in the form of u sled for harvest
ing pines. 1 he sled consists of
a crate idiout Ki inches high, Itnilt
onto two limners of ordinary two
hy four. In order to permit the
sled In slide het ween llio rows of
pineapples the runners lire not set
parallel hut sire set so that they
converge toward the front end of
(he frame. The runners are three
ami a half feet long, set 15 incites
apart in the front and IS inches
in the rear. The crate which is
huill directly onto the runners
has a capacity of about six bags
of pineapples. It is also narrow
er in front than in the rear.
In harvesting pines one man is
sent ahead to pick the fruit and
lay it down. Another man fol
lows with the sled drawn by a
mule ami is aide to pick up the
fruit and carry it to Ihe side of
the lield as rapidly as the man
on ahead can pick the fruit. Mr.
Whittingtoii's foreman claims
that hy using the sled in this man
ner Iwo men can do the work of
three. It is much easier than
packing the pines out of the field
in hags, and as the men do not
gel tired quickly they are able to
do more work.

The repellent was applied to the

the painting was repeated almost
every day.
Nicotine sulphate is a commerc
ial insecticide also known as
l.lack Leaf 40. It is used as a
spray for sucking insects at the
rate of one ounce nicotine sul
phate to four gallons of waler

part nicotine sulphate to -100
parts water. At this strength it
is sprayed directly onto plant
lice and other sucking insects

pellent and probably gains its
ell'ect iveness due to the strong
tobacco odor which it dill'uses.
The odor keeps away the female
melon lly which seeks the water

deposit its eggs. A stronger solu

waler would urobablv be neces

water would not be so strong as
to injure the melon, ami would
make the odor stronger. It is also

to use mixtures to kill the adults
it is necessary 1o have them so
strong that the plants upon which
they are used are apt to be in
jured.
The fact that the adults congre
gate on turnip and mustard leads
the entomologists to recommend
that these crops be used to attract
the bugs. AVhen these trap crop
are covered with the insects they
may be distroyed easily by spray
ing Ihe crop with a very strong
contact insecticide. .

According to specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
in preparing hogs to be slaughter
ed a fast of 2 to :(' hours, idenlv
of water, careful handling, anil
rest before slaughter are nil im
portant in securing meat in the
best condition for use, either fresh
or for curing purposes. Food in
the stomach decomposes very
rapidly after slaughter, and where
the dressing is slow the gases
generated often atl'ect the Uavor
of Ihe meat. Water should be
given freely up to the time of
slaughter, as it keeps the tempera
ture normal. It is highly import
Ant that the animal be not excited
in any way snlliciently to raise the
temperature of the bod v. If the
animal becomes heated it is better
to allow it to rest overnight before
killing than to risk spoiling the
meat. It is also essential that the
hog be carefully handled so as
not to hrilise its body.

HY NEDUCIXG DISEASE
In an effort to increase our live
stock supplies the reduction of
the loll taken by disease should
not be overlooked. There are
large number of diseases which
are very common and which seri
ously nll'ect the live-stock indust
ry.
Tradition has it that the value
of preventing and combating di
sease is in the ratio of Ki to 1:
in other' words, "an ounce of pre
ven I ion is worlh a pound of cure."
As a matter of fact, this estimate
i too low; probably KiO to 1
would be nearer the truth. ., In
spite of this fact, however, pre
ventive measures are not so well
known or so ell'ect ive that disease
can always he prevented, if ani
mals get sick call a vetrinarian at
once.

If the beginner litis had ex

be till right to purchase eggs and
